Chris Gimenez News
Chicago Cubs catcher Chris Gimenez is starting at catcher over Willson Contreras and is hitting seventh on Monday. The Cubs had a night game at home Sunday and now play a day game in Pittsburgh Monday, so this is just a normal rest day for Contreras. With the pitcher spot hitting right behind him at eighth and a career slash line of .218/.309/.345, Gimenez is just a punt play in DFS. Contreras should return to the lineup Tuesday.
The Chicago Cubs have named Victor Caratini the teams backup catcher. He has beat out veteran Chris Gimenez. Its a bit of a surprise as Gimenez has experience with the Cubs big free-agent signee Yu Darvish. Caratini hit .243 this spring, but it was enough to earn him the backup spot behind starting catcher Willson Contreras. Aside from daily leagues, Caratini can be avoided.
